Hart has been dipping his toes into the dramatic well for a while now, but this story hits so close to home at a time when audiences already have a difficult time separating actors from the roles that they play. The limited series - a seven-episode thriller from “Narcos” and “Narcos: Mexico” writer Eric Newman - follows Hart (who also executive produces) as The Kid, a world-famous comedian whose tour stop in his hometown of Philadelphia (like Hart’s) leads to life-and-death decisions that challenge how far he’s willing to go to protect everything he’s built.Īs Kid regularly shows up on “The Ellen Show” and packs arenas with his stand-up comedy, in between the misguided behavior he engages in over the course of the series, the blurring of reality and fiction with Hart’s real-life persona immediately creates confusing questions about Hart’s decision to tell this specific story. Netflix’s “True Story” strangely feels like Hart’s way of doing the same thing to himself. When Kevin Hart hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the second time, he starred in a sketch about a rapper whose latest track has him snitching on all the members of his crew.
